The Vans Old Skool shoes have become a popular choice in California's skate culture due to their retro aesthetic. As part of the 'Color Theory' collection launched in June 2018, the 'Chocolate Torte' variation features a luxurious, monochrome design with a canvas and suede upper, accentuated by the iconic logo stripe and laces. The midsole is adorned with signature foxing tape and a vintage heel patch, while the vulcanized sole and Waffle tread provide excellent grip and durability. This update captures the essence of the original Old Skool design while adding a stylish twist.
